But what if, “I am a small seller and my turnover is less than Rs. 20 lakhs annually. Do I also need GSTIN?”. Sure, if you want to ship even a single package inter-state, you need a GSTIN irrespective of the turnover.

Are you unsure of the right GST tax rate or HSN code every time you make a sale?

Here’s how Shop101 has made the process simple:

Choose the GST classification for your products in the Shop101 app – right HSN code and GST tax rate are automatically applied.

Every time a consumer buys from your website, GST is automatically calculated and applied on the product prices

The amount paid by the customer includes product price + shipping & COD(as specified by you) + GST. This is transferred to your bank account every Tuesday

You will deposit the taxes collected at the end of every month with the Government.

Remember, Shop101 system will only collect GST from your customers once your GSTIN (GST Identification Number) has been approved. So start GST classification as soon as the updated app is live even if you don’t have a GSTIN yet.

So as of now, there is no difference between selling offline and selling online. All exemptions available to offline sellers are available to online sellers as well.

In simple words, you can continue doing business as you were doing before GST. You have more time to get your GST registration and learn how to file GST Tax.

We recommend that you apply for your GST ID right away to be ready when government announces a date for implementation of GST for online sellers.

Government has deferred implementation of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) and Tax Collection at Source (TCS) for smoother implementation of GST. For now, businesses can continue to sell on e-commerce platforms as earlier.

However, we recommend getting the GST registration completed at the earliest to avoid any hassles.
